10 Managing Users with YaST
During installation, you chose a method for user authentication. This method is either
local (via /etc/passwd) or, if a network connection is established, via NIS, LDAP,
Kerberos or Samba (see Section “Create New User (Chapter 1, Installation with
YaST, ↑Reference) . You can create or modify user accounts and change the authen-
tication method with YaST at any time.
Every user is assigned a system-wide user ID (UID). Apart from the users which can
log in to your machine, there are also a number of system users for internal use only.
Each user is assigned to one or more groups. Similar to system users, there are also
system groups for internal use.
10.1 User and Group Administration Dialog
To administer users or groups, start YaST and click Security and Users > User and
Group Management. Alternatively, start the User and Group Administration dialog
directly by running yast2 users & from a command line.
